Onana Not Returning to Manchester United

Andre Onana is set to continue his tenure at Trabzonspor, following an agreement between the Turkish club and Manchester United for a new loan spell for the Cameroonian goalkeeper. Reports from Turkey indicate that the "Claret and Blues" initially sought to acquire the goalkeeper permanently, but Manchester United's asking price proved too steep for Trabzonspor. This led to the decision for another loan deal for the 30-year-old shot-stopper.

It was previously suggested that Onana desired a return to Manchester United to participate in pre-season training and fight for his place. The Cameroonian remains under contract with the "Red Devils" until June 30, 2028, but it appears unlikely he will get another chance to play in a Manchester United shirt.

Senne Lammens has firmly established himself as the undisputed starting goalkeeper for the 20-time English champions. Should Altay Bayindir depart United this summer, which is highly probable, the club will need to bring in another goalkeeper. Earlier this month, veteran Tom Heaton extended his contract for another season, though his role is primarily to assist in the training of the other goalkeepers. Radek Vitek, who spent last season on loan at Bristol City, is also expected to be sold. Karl Darlow from Leeds and Sam Johnstone from Wolves, a former "Red Devils" academy product, are among the names being linked with a move to Old Trafford.
